Colman’s Mustard. No manly food should do without it. As they used to
say themselves ‘Meat needs mustard’. An iconic design and personal
favourite of mine, drawn in scratch pen and acrylic ink with watercolour
on 300gsm The Langton’ Grain Fin’ paper. Warhol had his Campbell’s, my
muse is mustard. Email me if you’d like to give a similar original as a
present headlined with ‘(insert name)’s favourite’, to a loved one -
maybe a jar of their favourite marmalade, a bottle of beer or wine, or
even a pair of Converse, anything goes. petergander@gmail.com

It’s been a year of maps, this one’s a very personal one commissioned for a couple who were celebrating their joint 50th birthdays. It shows their favourite haunts in the Provence region of their holiday home in France. Scratch pen and ink and watercolour on The Langton 300gs, Grain Fin paper.
